International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI) recently serviced the largest vessel to dock in the Philippines, the APL Bahrain, which called at two of ICTSI's Philippine terminals: the New Container Terminal-1 (NCT-1) in Subic Bay Freeport, and the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), ICTSI's flagship operations, in the Port of Manila.
American President Lines (APL) deployed the 4,330 TEU capacity APL Bahrain for special calls in the country. The vessel was newly built by Korean shipbuilder Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction in its shipyard facility and production at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone in Zambales.
APL Bahrain, which has a length overall of 259.8 meters, had its maiden voyage from the Hanjin Subic shipyard to the nearby NCT-1, operated by ICTSI subsidiary Subic Bay International Terminal Corporation. After NCT-1, the vessel's next stop was the MICT, the country's premier international trading gateway.
